Since the dawn of time, people have worked to amass value and worth to help build generational wealth, make the best life for themselves, or even help serve a larger philanthropic purpose. The one thing that mankind can’t do is know when the unforeseen may happen: death, abduction, political uncertainty… In these cases, what happens to the belongings of those poor unfortunate souls? They become lost, tied up in some legal battle, or worse confiscated. Sarcophagus is a blockchain-based solution to help solve this problem. By implementing a decentralized dead man’s switch, the digital assets of an individual can be safely passed onto a chosen individual through the execution of a smart contract. Sarcophagus introduces a digital safeguard that protects your assets the way that you see fit.

Project Overview

The Sarcophagus project is a blockchain-based project built and developed on the Ethereum network in conjunction with Arweave. It accomplishes the protection of digital assets by the use of a decentralized dead man’s switch.
